Our Team

Dr. Brendan Shanahan was born and raised in Rochester, Michigan. He graduated with honors from Michigan State University with a Bachelors degree in Kinesiology and went on to graduate Magna Cum Laude from Life University with a Doctor of Chiropractic degree.

Dr. Brendan’s interest in the human body began at a very young age, as he was heavily involved in sports and was always drawn to healthcare as a career choice. His interest of the human body continued through high school and into college where he discovered a proactive approach to health through principled chiropractic care. Dr. Brendan grew up with childhood asthma and he took prescription medications to cope with allergies, however at the young age of 12, he found himself questioning the medical model. He knew there was a better way to health and did not believe that taking drugs was the answer. It was through subluxation based, principled chiropractic care that allowed his body to heal from the inside and he ultimately quit using his inhaler and got off all prescription medications. Today he does not have asthma and it was at that point that Dr. Brendan knew he was going to be a chiropractor.

Dr. Brendan participated in a chiropractic mission trip to Jamaica through Spinal Missions serving the masses with complimentary chiropractic care, as mission work has always been a passion of his. Dr. Brendan has also had extensive education in extremity adjusting and numerous hours of education in pediatric and maternal adjusting techniques.

Dr. Thomas Madigan grew up in Lake Orion, MI. From a very young age he was always concerned with helping people, so it was only natural for him to pursue a career in a healthcare field. After graduating from Lake Orion High School he went on to study at Western Michigan University, and graduated with honors with a bachelors degree in Biomedical Sciences.

Dr. Madigan, from the beginning of his college career wanted to go to dental school, but after a conversation with his uncle he soon realized that he needed a plan B. He looked into chiropractic, and went on a visit to Life University in Marietta, GA. After his visit, and his first taste of chiropractic, he knew that this was the career for him. He enrolled at Life University in spring 2012 and never looked back.

A couple quarters into his career at Life, Dr. Madigan’s father was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer. After a year of taking the holistic approach to health with dieting, juicing, exercise and most importantly, chiropractic, his father soon found out that his cancer was in remission. His body was in a state of Optimal Health, and was able to heal on its own from the inside-out the way it was made to do. This is when Dr. Madigan knew for sure that his decision to become a Doctor of Chiropractic was the right one. “The human body is an amazing self-healing and self-regulating machine, and when put in the most optimal environment, an environment free of nerve interference, it can do and achieve anything.”

Drs. Brendan Shanahan and Thomas Madigan’s background

Drs. Brendan Shanahan and Thomas Madigan both enrolled at Life University in the spring of 2012. They did not know each other at the time, but on the third day of class they were assigned to groups of four for an ice breaker activity. As their group of four introduced themselves they quickly realized they grew up just 15 minutes apart. During both of their high school careers, they played competitive sports against each other, hung out in similar areas, and knew similar people, yet they had never met until that day. It was at that moment they became great friends and began studying with each other almost everyday. Two quarters later, they became roommates and the vision of opening a practice and working together to change the way their community viewed health began. It is now their goal to serve and help as many families as possible to achieve Optimal Health through Principled Subluxation-Based chiropractic care.

My wife referred me to this Chiropractic office. I was so impressed by the entire office. From the office staff to the Doctors and willingness to meet with every person to discuss their treatment plan. I have been going twice a week and can already feel the difference!!! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!!!

Absolutely love this place! They have completely changed my view on chiropractic care and shown me the benefits it has! They always take the time to explain what they are doing, why and the benefits each adjustment has. My favorite part is the friendly and fun staff, they ALWAYS remember my name :)

Drs. Tom and Brendan are great and very patient in answering all my questions about Chiropractic Treatment. Making appointments is easy and they are always flexible for me to change my times. The front office staff - Andrea and Selena are always full of laughs and smiles and awesome! I highly recommend this place! ??????????

I have been to many chiropractors before I tried Vitality Precision Chiropractic. I am very pleased with the gentle adjustments that I receive here. They are not painful and the doctor tells you what he will do and what to expect. The atmosphere is very upbeat. The staff and doctors are very caring. I recommend vitality Precision Chiropractic.

This place is amazing! If you have significant problems, I'm sure that they will be able to help. I had gone to at least 8 doctors about my back pain and none of them could help. But within a few adjustments with these guys, u was already feeling a difference and I actually felt awake for the first time in years! Also everyone is super nice! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who needs chiropractic help

The passion for your health by Dr. Shanahan and Dr. Madigan is top priority at Vitality!! Their knowledge and enthusiasm will not be found anywhere else!! If you haven't yet, do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation NOW!!
Andrea and Selena are cool too!

I have been to many chiropractors in my life and no one has ever compared to Dr.Tom and Dr.Brendan. They truly believe that your body can heal when put in the most optimal environment! I am so blessed to have gotten my health back on track. Selena and Andrea (the chiropractic assistants) make my day every time I walk into the office. Highly recommend!

This place is amazing! Both Dr. Tom and Dr. Brendan are great doctors and so helpful. They really know what they are talking about and integrate that into each time you come to get adjusted. It's so easy to make appointments here and change them if you need to. Everyone knows your name and it's a phenomenal environment to come to weekly. I would highly recommend Vitality!
